FUZZ- ELECTRO HARMONIX Bass Big Muff... yes? or same old lame ...?

 ELECTRO HARMONIX BASS BIG MUFF 

$82.00 USD

Most Bass players are not to crazy over FX. I do not blame them. Many of these pedals are sold as miracle Synths. What they are, are variations on an envelope filter follower or in plain English an auto-wah. They want you to make bow-wow sounds like a barking dog in a cartoon. There are a few Fuzz pedals but they either kill the low end, turn your tone to mud or force you to use a pick. The original Sovtek Big Muff was a medium gain Fuzz that gave a warm and lightly distorted dirt sound. If you play with a tube amp or tube pre they are rather redundant as you do not need more of what you already have. 

The Bass Muff may be an exception? 

The layout is simple with volume, tone and gain and a switch lets you boost the lows and add in a bit of clean signal to keep the definition and fight any mud.

MORE OR LESS?

The Nano is smaller and does not include the bass boost. It is oddly not cheaper and Sweetwater do not even stock them ??? The clue may be the obvious omission of a bass boost? You can not have the boost and clean on together with either? So?

Enter the large Deluxe which has all the bells and whistles. You get a blend for the clean signal a gate that kills noise and tightens the sound and a pad for an active bass. 

Of course it very large and naturally more money. Good luck ...LOL.

CONCLUSION

I will give it my biggest compliment I can give to an effect for Bass.

USABLE!
